Louise Mawn's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Mawn performed a surgery on me in 2004 and choosing her was one of the worst decisions of my life. I have spent the past two decades trying to undo the damage that resulted from that procedure. I met with two other ocularplastic surgeons soon after my procedure and they were both really surprised she ever recommended it based on my history. I was very young at the time and really trusted Vanderbilt since I had been going to them since I was a child. My advice to anyone considering her is to get multiple opinions before moving forward. Not doing this cost me thousands and impacted my self image.

In 2013, I had reconstructive lower eyelid surgery to correct sclera show, canthal rounding and lagophalmous. Dr. Mawn impressed me with her knowledge of the problems I presented and I felt confident going forth. Upon awakening from surgery, I knew something went horribly wrong. I now had true ectropion. My eyes literally hung down at the corners. Even she said to me weeks afterward, "you look worse than you did before." Her surgery approach, transcutaneous, actually increased ectropion.

Ss excellent!

Dr. Mawn is extremely professional while also exhibiting warmth and caring about her patient. I never questioned her competency, was pleased with the surgical experience, and very happy with the results. While two other physicians in this practice came across as dismissive, Dr. Mawn was totally opposite. She recognized and respected my vision concerns and proceeded to schedule the surgery to correct the problem. I appreciate her expertise and have already recommended her to others.

Dr. Mawn is a fantastic doctor, let alone person. She is one of the most thorough petiole Inhave ever met- she saved my mother's eyesight and has excellent networking skills!

As a doctor she is very good. There are three issue that I have found. Most frustrating is not being able to get a timley appt. In Sept '15 I called but the earliest I could get was early Feb 2016. #2 - I even offered to pay cash for an earlier appt and was told they don't accept cash. #3 - She also does not reply to messages through the Vanderbilt message system. I have called and emailed 3 times in the past 3 months and not one call or message was returned.

Dr. Mawn was very personable. She was knowledgeable of my particular eye problem. She did well with my surgery, also. She explained everything that was going to happen during my surgery. I would recommend her as an eye doctor for anyone.

Dr. Mawn and her staff were beyond thorough ! I was amazed at the in depth medical background, as well as current symptoms that Dr. Mawn looked into. She left no stone unturned, as she searched for the cause of my complicated illness. I am convinced that she is the best Dr. I have had the pleasure of meeting. I will forever remember the Dr. who cared enough to see past the symptoms, and look for the cause !!!
